BURGLARY.—Two young men, named Alfred Bale and George Henfrey were placed at the bar, charged with bur glarously breaking and entering the premises of Mr. Moseley, clock maker, Chancery-lane, and stealing there from property, valued at over £7O. Mr. Charles Mosley, a watch-maker, residing in Clerk enwell, said he also kept a shop, No. 65, Carey-street, Lin coln's-inn-fields. On the night of the 19th he left the shop about half-past nine or tea in the evening, and on his return on Monday, the 21st, he found the place had been broken open, and a number of clocks, ship's chronometers, and other timepieces had been stolen. The value of the property stolen he valued at over £7O. Police-constable George Fowler, F 12, said he had made an examination of the premises, and found that the entry had been effected from the back part of the house. A pair of steps belonging to a coffee-house which adjoined Mr. Moseley's were found in the yard of the house in which the robbery had been committed, and it was evident the burg lars had passed from the yard of the coffee-shop at which the prisoner Bale was employed. A lad named Smith said he saw the prisoners together on Friday, near Mr. Moseley's shop. He (witness) worked within a few doors of it. When he saw Henfrey he asked him (Smith) whether the dog slept at No. 65. He told him he thought it did, when he asked him (witness) to give it a bit of meat. which he (Henfrey) gave him. Witness threw the meat to the dog, which was then at the shop door. Thomas Brookes, employed at the house adjoining Mr. Moseley, in Chancery-lane, said he knew both the pri soners. He saw them together at the coffee-house door on Sunday, the 20th of March. On the night before that the prisoner Henfrey, who was then near Mr. Moseley's shop, said, " I suppose he (meaning Mr. Moseley) goes home to sleep every night." Police-sergeant Shaw said he apprehended Henfrey after the robbery. On his taking him into custody he said he knew nothing about the robbery. He took Henfrey to his lodgings at 4, Staple-inn court. When they entered the room Henfrey's wite asked what was the matter, when he said, " The policeman says I broke into that house on that night when you know I was in bed." Elizabeth Harley, a servant at the coffeehouse, 101, Chancery-lane, said the prisoner Bale was employed there as waiter, Between 7 and 8 o'clock on Sunday evening, the 20th, the prisoner Henfrey called and asked to see Bale. He did so, and shortly afterwards Bale asked permission to go out for a short time, as his younger brother had called to see him. Leave was given, and he returned in about half an hour. He then went to bed. She did not think he could have again come down from his bedroom without seine person in the house hearing him. Sergeant Mulvany, a detective officer, corroborated the evidence of Sergeant Shaw respecting the observations made by Henfrey to his wife after his apprehension. He had been to the place of employ of Bale's brother, and, from inquiries he had made, his brother denied having seen him for at least a month. Mr. Abrams (who appeared for Bale) asked hie worship if he thought any evidence had been offered which affected Bale. He thought Rot, and asked that he should be at once discharged. Mr. Vaughan thought quite sufficient had been said against Bale to justify his remaining in custody. He did not wish to make any observations in the case, because, if he did so, they might tell against Bale. He should there fore remand both prisoners for a week. Mr. Abrams asked if bAil would be taken for his client. Mr. Vaughan said he had no objection to that, but he should insist that the two sureties should be for £lOO each. Bail to that amount was not forthcoming, and the pri soners were locked up, SHARE MARKETS—This day.

THAMES. DEAD, BUT NOT KlLLED.—Richard Edwards, aged 29, a p ,werful man, described as a wheelwright, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with violently assaulting and wounding Dennis Collins, an Irish coal-whipper, and Mary Collins, his wife. The parties were living at No. 97, High-street, Shadwell, and it appeared that a bad feeling existed between the Eng lish and Irish residents . in the house. The prisoner and Collins quarrelled a fortnight ago. There was another quarrel between them on Tuesday morning last. The pri soner, a bad tempered, violent man, took up a poker from his fireplace and aimed a cowardly blow at Mrs. Collins' head. She put up her left hand to save her head, and re • ceived a blow on her hand which disabled her, and she has been very ill ever since. She screamed and called for assistance. Her husband opened his room door, and the prisoner aimed a blow at the Irishman's head with such force that the poker was broken, and the smaller piece of it bounded into the room of the Collins's. The poor Irishman received a severe wound, and fell. He called out, "I am murdered, but not killed," which brought eeveral persons to his assistance, and among others, Jesse Button, a police, 359 K, who found Dennis Collins biteding profusely from his wound. He has been under medical treatitent ever since. Button produced the two pieces of the broken poker. One was in the Irishman's room. All the evidence went to show that the prisoner had acted with great brutality to Collins and his wife, and had wounded both. He said he acted in self-defence, and that Dennis Collins kicked him on a tender part of his person. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial, and refused to accept bail. London and Westminster Bank. Some excitement was created in the City yester day by the announcement that arrangements had been made for the transfer of the business of Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co. to thelLondon and Westmin ster Bank. The shares of the latter suddenly rose from 82 84 to Itis 110, bat a partial reaction has occurred this morning, and they are now about 94. Annexed are the circulars issued : " Lothbury, London, E.C., 31st March, 1864.

LODGING HOUSES FOR THE LAILATRING CLASSES. —The Court of Common Council, on the recommendation of their Committee for Improvements, have just authorised the expenditure of nearly £30,000 in the erection of a series of improved dwellings for the labouring poor in Clerkenwell on the plan already successfully carried out by Mr. Alder man ti 9 aterlow in a deneely populated part 0 Finebury. GARIBALDI AT SOUTHAMPTON, The arrival of General Garibaldi, with his two sons, the elder of whom holds the rank of colonel in the Italian army, is expected today, although the Ripen—not by any means distinguished as a fast boat—is only due by contract on Sunday. General Garibaldi's health, which was low before he embarked at Caprera, is not likely—even in the case of so old a sailor—to have been recruited by the fatigues of a voyage. Mr. Seely's residence, Brook House, is in a retired situation at the back of the Isle of Wight. When the Ripon is telegraphed off Hurst Cistle the union•jack will be hoisted at the Bar-gate, and signal guns fired to apprise the inhabitants of Southampton of the arrival. Three or four open landaus, each drawn by four greys, will be in waiting to convey the General and his friends, provided that their debarkation take place in good lime and in fair weather. The corporation will meanwhile have been summoned to attend the mayor at the Audit Douse; bells will be rung; a salute of lo guns fired from the platform ; and the Volunteer Engineers' band will attend and head the procession from the docks to the mayor's house. Such are the arrangements, so far as they can thus be called. In the small party of eight by whom General Garibaldi is accompanied are, besides his two sons already mentioned, Signor Guersoni and Major Basso, his secretaries, and Colonel Chambers, an Englishman. There is also the physician by whom the General was attended in the illness consequent on his wound. A deputation from Newcastle, headed by Mr. Cowen, will present an address ; and to-day acommunication from the Mayor of Bristol has been received, stating the desire of him self and the corporation of that town to take part in the proceedings to-morrow. The Bristol depu tion will be accompanied by Mr. Gore Langton, M.P., a personal friend of General Garibaldi. The Lord Provost has invited General Garibaldi, in the event of his visiting Edinburgh, to be his lordship's guest. Garibaldi will, it is believed, visit Glasgow, and report says Dundee also.

Croxton Park is and always will be a meeting per se. To the traditions of the past it unites the modern phase of racing, and brings together an old and a new generation in the Billeedon Coplow, and the Farmers' Stakes, the Wal tham Plate, and the Granby Handicap. In some respects the Goodwood of the midland counties in its brilliant array of aristocratic names and show of beauty and fashion, r. presents a spectacle in many ways free from the taint of other racecourses, and shows us a turf gathering under its most attractive form. This was especially the case this year. In addition to the peculiar attractions of Croxton, the great interest excited by the National Hunt meeting near Melton the next day helped to bring together as large and distinguished an assembly as prcbably ever was known here. The stand presented a brilliant show of pretty faces and tasteful toilettes, and the list of company embraced the well-known names of the aristocratic frequenters of Crox ton, and to enumerate which would be equivalent to tran scribing pages from "Lodge" and " Burke." The weather unfortunately interfered much with the enjoyment of the day, wind and showers being prevalent. A long afternoon's sport commenced with The Farmers' Plate of 60 sous, 20 to the second, and 5 to the third, for horses not thorough bred, the property of and bred by farmers residing within the district of coun try hunted by the Belroir, Quorndon, Cottesmore, or Mr. Tailby's hounds.

MANCHESTER, April 1: —In shipping yarns the amount of business done to-day has been very small, but prices are tolerably firm, with but little disposi tion to give way on the part of sellers. We have heard of some few transactions in Bolton yarns at extreme prices, but generally the market for borne trade yarns, though steady, is quiet. In this de scription of spinnings prices are pretty much the same as on Tuesday, and the business going on i s pretty much of a retail character. Manufacturers appear to be buying only to supply imm e di ate wants. In the cloth market there was some inquiry for shirtings, which led to business yesterday. To day we have still some inquiry for shirtings and other descriptions of cloth, and it has given a rather more cheerful tone to the market. The goods in quired for are chiefly fabrics suitable to the India, and China trade, but to the time of writing but few orders had resulted from this inquiry to-day. The offers which have been made have been low, and generally under the prices which manufacturers would be inclined to accept. Where business has been done it has been effected only at low rates. There has been some inquiry for printing. cloths, and the better descriptions are rather firm in price. CARDIFF, March 31.—The steam coal merchants are full of orders, and an excellent trade would be done had it not been for the difficulty in getting sufficient coal down from the collieries. The men still persist in working less than usual per day, and hence the difficulty in obtaining a sup ply. The masters have decided to be guided as regards a further advance in wages by the course that will be adopted at the iron works. Coke is in good request, and quotations well maintained. The ironmasters are upon the whole fairly off for orders, and it is expected that the present list rates will be confirmed at the quarterly meeting. A large amount of activity is evinced at the shipbuilding yards. LEEDS, April I.—The following is the trade report of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce for the month of March :—" The business done in the woollen cloth warehouses during the past month has not been on a very large scale, the unfavourable weather having to some extent prevented buyers from operat ing freely. A fair business has, notwithstanding been done. In the halls there has been a very fair demand, and ths manufacturers generally fully employed. The state of political affairs in the north of Europe has caused the regular demand for those markets to be very small, but considerable quantities of army clothing have been sent, and a fair amount of goods has been taken for ship, ment to other parts. The first series of sales of colonial wool in London for the year com menced on the 3d and closed on the 23d. Previous prices were fully supported, and an upward ten dency upon combing and sound stapled wools, which were in request both for home consumption and for export. The small portion of the new clip that arrived in time for these sales was in very good condition. The total quantity sold was 53,900 bales. Daring and since the sales consumr tion has been going on very steadily, but without any unusual briskness. The demand for all descrip tions of flax has been very dull, and the business done is merely for immediate wants. Prices are somewhat lever, with a downward tendency. Fine tows have been in pretty fair demand, and prices have been better maintained. Common sorts have been quite neglected, and have receded in price. Hemps have been very dull of sale, and prices are also lower. The spinners continue to be very busy, especially in tow yarns, and there is a good consumptive demand, but a total absence of speculation. Prices remain very firm. Threads are in good demand. The manufacturers of iron for railway purposes are exceedingly well employed, the demand being very great, arising from the present enormous traffic on the railways. NOTTINGHAM, Ist.—There was a moderate atten dance at this Eichange-hall to-day, and business in lace yarns ruled firm, at about the rates of last week. For hosiery yarns the inquiry was limited, and previous rates were generally made. Silks un altered. There was not much passing in brown nets, and prices were nominally unchanged.

Leamington and Warwickshire Hunt 22 Disaffection in the Austrian Army, The Siecle publishes the following correspondence from Copenhagen, which La Patrie republishes with "due reserve;"— COPENHAGEN, March 27. I have very important news to send to you to day. Two days since the Austrian army suddenly abandoned the positions it held round Fredericia— an act which our most able strategists could not ex plain. The reason has been discovered. All the Hungarians belonging to the Austrian army, offi cers as well as men, had agreed to pass over to the Dines, to join them in fighting the common enemy of their nationality. General Gablenz was informed of the conspiracy only a few hours before it was to be catried out. He immediately ordered a retreat from Fredericia. An investigation was instituted, which resulted in a number of Hungarian officers and men being sentenced to death. A private let ter from a Danish officer, which reached Copenhagen this evening, and which I have before me, states that the number sentenced was not less than 300. So much is certain that the night before last heavy platoon firing was heard in the Austrian quarters, probably the execution of the sentence. The Hun garians, it seems, revolted at the odious work they bad to perform. The Italians drafted into the Aus trian regiments share the same sentiments. The turn of the Poles of the Grand Duchy of Posen will come next. The German journals will doubtless deny the truth of this statement; but the fact is true, and if I am the first to announce it to you it wi;o1 doubtless soon be repeated in other quarters.
